What is life? It is the flash of a
firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself
in the sunset. - Blackfoot

When you were born, you
cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the
world cries and you rejoice. -
Cherokee

Those who have one
foot in the canoe, and one foot in the boat, are going to fall into
the river. - Tuscarora
